    A man was going through the fields late one night and he saw a big flock of cows grazing in a neighbour's farm. He went and told the neighbour who put them out As he drove them off they went through a gap in the fort. He went to close the gap after them and if he did, he saw a house inside in the fort and the door wide open. He looked in and saw four men card-playing and the boss in the corner.
